PickyStory may accept or deny any Partner for any reason or no reason at its sole discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Partner will not have the authority, express or implied, to make any commitment, enter into any agreements or contracts, or incur any obligations or liabilities on behalf of PickyStory other than making referrals as set forth in this Agreement. If Partner is not accepted to the Agency Partner Program, then Partner shall not be entitled to any benefits or commissions under the Agency Partner Program and shall have no right to solicit or refer potential merchants for the PickyStory Services, and only the following sections of this Agreement shall apply to Partner: 3(d), 8(b)(iii), 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14.

e. Marketing. Partner agrees to use its best efforts to carry out the marketing activities performed under this Agreement in a way that secures and strengthens the reputation of PickyStory and the PickyStory Services.
f. Disclaimer. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall in no way limit PickyStory’s right to market the PickyStory Services to any merchants, or to engage other third parties to carry out marketing and referral services with respect to the PickyStory Services on PickyStory’s behalf within the Territory.
g. Policies. Partner acknowledges that PickyStory may establish guidelines, policies, rules, or other documentation applicable to the Agency Partner Program (collectively, the “Policies”).

Partner’s participation in the Referral Agency Program is subject to Partner’s compliance with the Policies and all of the Policies are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
a. Referral by Partner. When Partner identifies a prospective merchant, Partner will refer that merchant to PickyStory’s Partner Manager or complete the partner referral intake form in order to register Partner’s referral to Partner’s account. Partner shall provide such information and complete such referral intake forms related to the referral as PickyStory may reasonably require or request.
b. Review by PickyStory. Upon receipt of a referral, PickyStory has the right to accept or reject the referral in its sole discretion.

PickyStory shall promptly notify Partner in writing if a referral has been accepted or rejected (with email, Slack or other means of electronic communications being sufficient for this purpose). If PickyStory does not provide written notice of rejection or acceptance within ten business days, the referral is deemed to have been rejected. Once a referral is accepted by PickyStory, such referral merchant will be eligible to become a Qualified Merchant.
c. Merchant Contracts. Nothing herein shall obligate PickyStory to accept a prospective merchant or provide services to any prospective merchant or to enter into a contract or agreement with any prospective merchant (a “Merchant Contract”). Partner acknowledges and agrees that each Merchant Contract is a direct agreement only between the Qualified Merchant and PickyStory. This means, with respect to a particular Merchant Contract, Partner shall not have any right to review or negotiate such Merchant Contract, or to be advised of or consulted regarding any Merchant Contract. In particular, PickyStory shall be solely responsible for determining all terms and conditions pertaining to payments and fees owing under a Merchant Contract or otherwise applicable to the PickyStory Services.
a. Referrals. Partner will use commercially reasonable efforts to refer to PickyStory potential merchants of the PickyStory Services. Partner shall at all times comply with the Marketing Plan (as defined below) and other requirements specified in Section 6 and any other lead generation or marketing Policies or other referral requirements from time to time provided by PickyStory. Partner will ensure that its sales representatives and agents are knowledgeable about the PickyStory Services, the Marketing Plan and all applicable PickyStory Policies pertaining to the Partner’s referral and marketing activities hereunder.
b. Assistance. Partner will reasonably assist PickyStory in completing sales to accepted referrals as and to the extent requested by PickyStory. Without limiting the foregoing, Partner will, to the extent requested by PickyStory, set up, and attend meetings with referrals, provide PickyStory with detailed background on the identity of the referral and the representatives of the referral, and assist in preparing and presenting sales materials to referrals.
c. Requirements. When seeking merchant referrals and otherwise performing under this Agreement, Partner will: (i) not engage in any deceptive, misleading, illegal, or unethical practices; (ii) not make any representations or warranties concerning the PickyStory Services, except as set forth in Marketing Materials (defined below) furnished by PickyStory; (iii) conduct business in a manner that reflects favorably at all times on the good name, goodwill, and reputation of PickyStory; and (iv) comply with all Applicable Laws. Partner will cause all of its sales representatives and agents to comply with the foregoing.
d. Internal Education. Partner will inform and educate its organization (including employees and representatives) about the nature of the business relationship between the Parties and PickyStory’s products and services.
e. Website. Partner will clearly display on their website that the Partner acts as a PickyStory Partner, with up-to-date descriptions and information regarding the PickyStory Services, as provided to the Partner by PickyStory.
f. Competitive Services Obligations. Partner shall provide customer or licensor with requested support and feedback requested to allow customer or licensor to make its own informed decision.
g. Prospect Information. During the course of performing its referral activities hereunder, Partner may disclose and provide to PickyStory certain data, information and materials related to prospective merchants (collectively “Prospect Information”). Partner represents that it does have and shall have all necessary rights and approvals required to provide and disclose the Prospect Information with PickyStory, and Partner shall not provide nor disclose any Prospect Information with PickyStory unless Partner is fully and legally authorized to do so. PickyStory shall have and does have an unrestricted right and license to use such Prospect Information for purposes consistent with this Agreement and contacting and marketing to prospective merchants. Partner shall not share any confidential information of any third party (including a prospective merchant referral) with PickyStory unless Partner has first identified such information as confidential prior to disclosure and PickyStory has agreed to accept such information in writing. Partner shall only share or disclose Prospect Information with PickyStory if and to the extent such Prospect Information was collected in compliance with Applicable Law and only to the extent that the sharing of such Prospect Information with PickyStory is permitted by Applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, Partner shall not share nor provide to PickyStory any personal information or personal data unless permitted under Applicable Law and consistent with any contractual obligations applicable to Partner.
h. Representations & Warranties. Partner represents, warrants and covenants that: (a) it possesses the full right, power and authority to enter into and fully perform this Agreement and is not legally prohibited from entering into or performing its obligations thereunder; (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action; (c) it will not make any materially false or materially misleading representations, warranties or statements about PickyStory, PickyStory’s services or technologies, or the Parties’ relationship under this Agreement; (d) it will comply with all Applicable Laws in connection with this Agreement; (e) it will otherwise act, at all times during the term of this Agreement, in a manner that reflects favorably on PickyStory and the Agency Partner Program and is consistent with the terms and spirit of this Agreement and the Policies;
i. Other Restrictions. Partner will not directly or indirectly (i) engage in any business activity that competes with the business activities of PickyStory or (ii) use any Confidential Information of PickyStory or any PickyStory customer lists or other PickyStory merchant information to market competitive services or products to PickyStory’s merchants. For the purpose hereof, business activities competing with those of PickyStory shall be the development, sale, operation, distribution or provision of products or services related to or otherwise concerning an e-commerce conversion platform.
a. Marketing Plan. When performing marketing and referral activities hereunder, Partner shall comply with the Marketing Plan attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Marketing Plan”) and any other lead generation or marketing Policies or other referral requirements from time to time provided by PickyStory. PickyStory may update or revise the Marketing Plan from time to time, in which case the updated Marketing Plan shall become automatically effective upon Partner’s receipt of 10 business days’ written notice from PickyStory.
b. Marketing Materials. PickyStory may, at its own expense and discretion, provide Partner with marketing and technical information concerning the PickyStory Services as well as reasonable quantities of brochures, instructional material, advertising literature, and other product data (collectively, the “Marketing Materials”). In such event, Partner shall have a non-exclusive, nontransferable, royalty-free license to use such Marketing Materials for the sole purpose of marketing the Services and providing them to potential merchants. PickyStory retains all right, title, and interest in and to all Marketing Materials.
c. Marketing Material Restrictions. Partner may not: sell, lease, license, copy, sublicense, decompile, disassemble, modify, reverse engineer, modify, or prepare derivative works of the Marketing Materials; permit anyone else to use the Marketing Materials without PickyStory’s prior written consent; or remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark or other notices or logos on any portion of the Marketing Materials.

Any goodwill resulting from Partner’s use of PickyStorys Marketing Materials inures solely to the benefit of PickyStory and will not create any right, title, or interest for Partner in any of the Marketing Materials or any PickyStory Marks. Partner may identify PickyStory as the supplier of the PickyStory Services in marketing materials independently developed by Partner only if PickyStory approves such materials in writing in advance (including approval by PickyStory’s legal department).
d. PickyStory Marks. Before Partner uses any PickyStory trademarks, tradenames or logos (the “PickyStory Marks”) in connection with this Agreement, Partner must first obtain the written permission of PickyStory; provided that the foregoing shall not limit Partner’s ability to use the Marketing Materials consistent with their intended purpose and the other requirements hereof.
e. PickyStory Marks Restrictions. Partner must at all times abide by any usage guidelines, requirements or Policies from time to time provided by PickyStory applicable to the PickyStory Marks. Partner will not challenge or assist others to challenge any of the PickyStory Marks or their registration or attempt to register any trademarks, tradenames or logos confusingly similar to any of the PickyStory Marks. If Partner acquires any goodwill or reputation in any of the PickyStory Marks, all such goodwill or reputation shall automatically vest in PickyStory and Partner agrees to take all actions necessary to effect such vesting. When this Agreement ends, Partner will immediately cease use of all PickyStory Marks. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall grant or be deemed to grant Partner any right, title or interest in or to any of the PickyStory Marks, other than the limited use rights set forth herein. Upon PickyStory’s request, Partner will immediately cease use of all of the PickyStory Marks.
f. PickyStory IP. Partner agrees that all of the PickyStory IP and all Feedback are owned by PickyStory or its licensors, and are protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws, and that PickyStory or its licensors (as applicable) do and shall solely own and retain all right, title and interest to, including all Intellectual Property Rights in, the PickyStory IP and all Feedback, any and all modifications, enhancements and derivative works made to the foregoing.

Following the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms (each, a “Renewal Term”, and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”), unless either Party provides the other Party with notice of its intention not to renew at least thirty (30) days’ prior to the end of the then-current term
b. Termination.
(i) For Convenience. During the Term, either Party may terminate this Agreement, at any time for any or no reason upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other Party.
(ii) For Cause. If either Party fails to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement or otherwise beaches any material terms and conditions of this Agreement, the other Party may terminate this Agreement by giving 10 days prior written notice, provided that the matters set forth in such notice are not cured to the terminating Party’s reasonable satisfaction within the 10-day period. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties agree that any breach of Sections 5, 6, 8 and 10 of this Agreement shall constitute a material breach. In addition to the foregoing, either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the other Party terminates its business activities or becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, admits in writing its inability to pay debts as they mature, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes subject to direct control of a trustee, receiver or similar authority.
(iii) Effects of Termination. Except as expressly required by law, if either Party terminates this Agreement in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement, neither Party will be liable to the other, because of such termination, for expenditures or commitments made in connection with this Agreement or damages caused by the loss of prospective profits or anticipated sales. Termination will not, however, relieve either Party of obligations incurred prior to the effective date of the termination. Upon termination, Partner will immediately cease all marketing and referral activities hereunder and shall cease use of the Marketing Materials and PickyStory Marks, and destroy and/or return to PickyStory (as instructed by PickyStory) any and all copies of such Marketing Materials. Upon termination, Partner may no longer identify itself as a PickyStory Partner and shall remove all references to PickyStory from Partner’s website. Each Party shall return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other Party and shall provide a written certification of such return or destruction if requested by the other Party. Upon termination, PickyStory will only be responsible for paying a commission for referrals accepted prior to the effective date of the termination. The following provisions will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: Sections 3(d), 3(f), 3(g), 5(c), 5(h), 5(i), 6(c), 6(e), 6(f), 7(c), 8(b)(iii), 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14.
PICKYSTORY MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED (WHETHER IN FACT, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE), OR STATUTORY, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER. PICKYSTORY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUALITY, ACCURACY, AND TITLE WITH RESPECT TO THE PICKYSTORY SERVICES AND/OR THE AGENCY PARTNER PROGRAM. PICKYSTORY DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH THE ENJOYMENT OF THE PICKYSTORY SERVICES OR AGAINST INFRINGEMENT. PICKYSTORY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PICKYSTORY SERVICES ARE ERROR-FREE OR THAT OPERATION OF THE PICKYSTORY SERVICES WILL BE SECURE OR UNINTERRUPTED. PARTNER DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE OR PASS ON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY ON BEHALF OF PICKYSTORY TO ANY MERCHANT OR OTHER THIRD PARTY. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. NO WARRANTIES ARE CREATED BY ANY COURSE OF DEALING BETWEEN THE PARTIES, TRADE USAGE OR INDUSTRY CUSTOM. PICKYSTORY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM PARTNER’S USE OF PICKYSTORY MARKETING MATERIALS OR PARTNER’S DEALING WITH ANY MERCHANT. PARTNER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT PARTNER’S PARTICIPATION IN THE AGENCY PARTNER PROGRAM IS AT PARTNER’S OWN DISCRETION AND RISK. THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. PICKYSTORY DOES NOT DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY OR OTHER RIGHT THAT PICKYSTORY IS PROHIBITED FROM DISCLAIMING UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
Partner will defend, indemnify and hold harmless PickyStory and its affiliates and their respective employees, directors, agents, and representatives (“PickyStory Indemnified Parties”) from and against any lawsuit, claim, allegation, damage, liability, cost, loss or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may at any time be incurred by any of them resulting from, relating to or arising out of: (i) Partner’s breach or violation of this Agreement or any Policies, (ii) Partner’s negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or violation of Applicable Law, and (iii) any claims or disputes between Partner and any prospective merchant or Qualified Merchant. The applicable PickyStory Indemnified Party shall give Partner prompt written notice of the claim. Partner shall have full and complete control over the defense and settlement of the claim, provided that no settlement admitting liability on the part of a PickyStory Indemnified Party may be made without the express written consent of such PickyStory Indemnified Party. The applicable PickyStory Indemnified Party shall provide such assistance in connection with the defense and settlement of the claim as Partner may reasonably request at Partner’s cost and expense.
a. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PICKYSTORY WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE LIABLE TO PARTNER FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, EVEN IF PICKYSTORY IS APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING.
b. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL PICKYSTORY’S TOTAL LIABILITY OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTY CLAIMS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY PICKYSTORY TO PARTNER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (DETERMINED AS OF THE DATE OF ANY FINAL JUDGMENT IN AN ACTION). PARTNER AGREES THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ITS PARTICIPATION IN THE AGENCY PARTNER PROGRAM OR THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE BROUGHT BY PARTNER WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES AND OTHERWISE SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED AND PARTNER SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED TO BRING ANY CLAIMS RELATED THERETO.
c. EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS OF THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE COMMISSION OFFERED BY PICKYSTORY TO PARTNER AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT HAVE FAILED OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
a. Confidential Information. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, a Receiving Party shall not to disclose Confidential Information or a Disclosing Party to any third party without the Disclosing Party’s written consent. “Confidential Information” means any information, in whatever form, disclosed or provided by one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) in the context of this Agreement. The confidentiality obligation under this section does not apply to any information which: (1) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as the result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party; (2) the Receiving Party can show that it already had in its possession before it was received; (3) the Receiving Party has received from a third party who was free to lawfully disclose such information to the Receiving Party; (4) the Receiving Party is required to provide in accordance with any applicable laws, investment exchange rules, court order or decision by a governmental authority, provided that (i) the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party of that fact in writing to permit the Disclosing Party the reasonable opportunity to appear in any judicial proceeding involved or otherwise act to preserve its rights, (ii) such disclosure is not greater than what was required to be compliant with such law, regulation or order, and (iii) the Receiving Party seeks confidential treatment for Confidential Information prior to disclosure. The burden of proof lies with the Receiving Party to demonstrate that any of the aforementioned requirements (1) to (4) is fulfilled.
b. Restrictions. Except as permitted in this Agreement, a Receiving Party shall not use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except for the purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement or exercising the rights granted in this Agreement. A Receiving Party shall protect all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party from disclosure and unauthorized use in the same manner that it protects its own proprietary and confidential information of like nature, but in no event shall such standard of care be less than reasonable care. Except as expressly authorized hereunder, a Receiving Party shall not copy the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent. A Receiving Party shall immediately notify the Disclosing Party in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of such Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
c. Third Party Information. For the avoidance of doubt, Confidential Information also refers to third party information (including information of Qualified Merchants) that is of technical, commercial or other nature unless it is clear that such information is non-confidential. Each Party may share Confidential Information with its subcontractors, external advisors and any of its Affiliates on a need-to-know basis, provided that such parties are subject to written confidentiality obligations corresponding to those under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any information that may be deemed a trade secret shall be subject to confidentiality for as long as such information remains a trade secret. Prospect Information shall not be considered Confidential Information hereunder unless Partner complies with its obligations under Section 4.7 and PickyStory has agreed to receive such information.

PickyStory reserves the right to change this Agreement from time to time without notice to Partner and any modifications or changes to this Agreement (including changes to the Policies) shall be effective upon such modification or amendment being posted to the PickyStory website or any specific pages applicable to PickyStory partners or otherwise communicated to Partner. Partner acknowledges and agrees that it is Partner’s responsibility to review this Agreement (including the Policies) periodically and to be aware of any modifications. Partner’s continued use of any Marketing Materials or other participation in the Agency Partner Program after such modifications will constitute Partner’s acknowledgement of the modified Agreement and agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Agreement.
b. Governing Law; Venue. Partner agrees that the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Agreement and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between Partner and PickyStory, except as otherwise stated in this Agreement. All actions related to this Agreement shall take place in Tel Aviv, Israel, subject to the terms of the next section.
c. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any breach thereof, such controversy or claim shall be determined and settled by confidential arbitration, conducted in English, held in Tel Aviv, Israel. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Parties, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties shall keep confidential: (a) the fact that any arbitration occurred; (b) any awards awarded in the arbitration; (c) all materials used, or created for use in, in the arbitration; and (d) all other documents produced by another Party in the arbitration and not otherwise in the public domain, except, with respect to each of the foregoing, to the extent that disclosure may be legally required (including to protect or pursue a legal right), or to enforce or challenge an arbitration award before a court or other judicial authority. The arbitrator shall award to the prevailing Party, if any, its costs and expenses, including its attorneys’ fees. The prevailing Party shall also be entitled to its attorneys’ fees and costs in any action to confirm and/or enforce any arbitration award in any judicial proceedings. Nothing in the Agreement shall prevent either Party from seeking provisional measures or equitable or injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
d. Assignment; Reproduction of Sites. Partner may not assign Partner’s rights and obligations under this Agreement to any third party, and any purported attempt to do so shall be null and void. PickyStory may freely assign PickyStory’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and transfer, assign or novate this Agreement.
e. Force Majeure. In addition to any excuse provided by Applicable Law or under this Agreement, PickyStory shall be excused from liability for any delay arising from any event beyond PickyStory’s reasonable control, whether or not foreseeable by either party, including but not limited to, labor disturbance, war, fire, accident, adverse weather, inability to secure transportation, governmental act or regulation, and other causes or events beyond PickyStory’s reasonable control, whether or not similar to those which are enumerated above.
f. Enforceability; Severability. If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

Partner tiers fees are based on Qualified Merchant Revenue actually received by PickyStory. This commission will not be payable for renewals or new purchases by a Qualified Merchant after the one (1) year period following the Qualified Merchant’s first invoice from PickyStory for use of the PickyStory Services.
“Qualified Merchant Revenue” means all amounts actually received by PickyStory from a Qualified Merchant for the PickyStory Services for the one (1) year period following such Qualified Merchant’s first invoice from PickyStory for use of the PickyStory Services, exclusive of (i) any refunds, rebates, returns, fees, payment processing fees, 3rd-party fees or discounts from time to time offered by PickyStory to the Qualified Merchant and (ii) any applicable taxes.
The following conditions apply to the above stated compensation:
Payment of compensation to the Partner shall take place monthly in arrears within 45 days after the end of each calendar month during which any Qualified Merchant Revenue was received by PickyStory (“Payout Period”), provided that the Partner has provided PickyStory with any required documentation (e.g. tax-related forms) for payment prior to the end of the Payout Period. PickyStory will provide a report of the Qualified Merchants included in the commission payment. A Partner shall not be eligible for payment of compensation for a given month if all required documentation and/or information with respect to Partner and/or a Qualified Merchant is not provided to PickyStory prior to the conclusion of the respective Payout Period.
The compensation shall be paid to the Partner via the payment method designed by PickyStory.
For clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that if a Qualified Merchant ceases to use PickyStory Services at any time, no fees shall be earned or applicable after such termination or expiration. Additionally, if a Qualified Merchant enters into a free evaluation/trial period with respect to the PickyStory Services, no commission shall apply during the free trial period.
PickyStory reserves the right to change its merchant pricing at any time in PickyStory’s sole discretion. The commissions and amounts payable hereunder only apply to the PickyStory Services and not any other services or offerings or that may be provided by PickyStory.
